I just ran in my new engine and want to throw away my stock Losi pipe as it feels so restricted! Can anyone reccomend the best pipe for the engine with plenty of low and mid range torque?
Thanks
Thanks

Thanks - How much of a difference does the JP3 pipe actually make on most engines? Can you feel the difference compared to without this pipe?

I put a 40 dollar Thunder Tiger tuned pipe and header on mine after reading some of the pro type guys are running them and really liked them. Still working on breaking in the engine but this thing is nuts, cheap engines shouldn't run like this.

I guess I got the bad one.....
I put the Dynamite 086 on my XZ motor and runtime/performance went the other way.

No, I don't have the OFNA version.
I give up on chasing pipes for that last little bit.
Both my motors make plenty of power with the JP-3 pipes.
I've tried the TTR-2035 on my Speed motor and I liked it too.
I've already spent a fortune on motors/clutches/etc trying to find that 'extra little bit'.
I just can't justify the $$$ spent on 10 different pipes....at least not to my Wife, anyway.
She already stays pi$$ed at me most of the time for the $$$ and time I spend on these things.
She blew a gasket when I ordered another blue head OS for my Son's 8ight last week.
Seems to me that there is a lot of 'trick of the week' mentality in the tuned pipe sector, as well.
